Alexei Sayle takes another train journey and breaks the golden rule of travelling by train in the UK - by actually talking to his fellow passengers. In this episode, he travels through Devon and Cornwall from Exeter to Newquay. Among his many fellow travellers, he meets: * Finn who has swapped his job at Nandos for a life in the Royal Navy looking after helicopters * Andrew who is about to run up the Cornish coastal path to meet his girlfriend who is running down it the other way * Paula and James who share a love of music, especially in Paula’s case, the harpsichord * Julian who has just returned from being a volunteer crew member on an historic Brixham trawler * Eta and Rowan who are both determined travellers and tell Alexei of a visit to Chernobyl - while Alexei surprises them with his own very unusual insight into the historic city of Petra in Jordan. Producers: Peter Lowe and Nick Symons A Ride production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2023.
